Sunday Rewind: Squeeze

Now, y’all didn’t think I’d let Sunday go by without a little 80’s, did you? 

Today (or tonight, since it’s 11 o’clock) it’s one of the great post-punk English bands, Squeeze.  They’re still around, but Squeeze will always be the 80’s to me.  I was the only one of my friends to have any of their albums back in the day (unless I had any closeted Squeeze fan friends), but I was used to being out on a limb with bands I liked back in the day.  You know the song “Tempted,” and you’ve heard “893-5937” (which is oddly one number off from my home phone number, weird) but I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite Squeeze tunes.  Here are “Black Coffee in Bed” and “Annie Get Your Gun.”  Okay, and because it’s one of the best songs in the history of ever and was produced by the fab Elvis Costello, “Tempted.”  It’s still on my list of best songs of all time.  And I could so be a back-up singer in that video.  Oh, and here’s  a little useless Kerry Fact: singer Glenn Tilbrook is one of the only blonds I’ve ever crushed on.  Ever.  Come on, total cutie.
